I got some from minispare bu they seem too small? I have push them out with my finger... I will contact minispares but just wondered if there are different sizes? I ordered these as i have a 998 pre A+ block.

This engine build stuff is a PITA

Thanks all...

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Ahh am I being stupid are you surposed to use a small socket as a drift in the middle to flatten them out a push them into the hole? I.e beinding the middle.

The seem flatter on my current engine...

Hold them in place and give them a tap in the middle with a hammer - it deforms them enough to stay in place.
Might dribble a tad on startup, but it soon stops as they furr up...

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.

I've got one leaking and kept looking at the new one thinking something is wrong!

I watched someone fitting on on youtube, They recommend putting non setting compound around the edge and hitting it in with a socket. Still must do mine, IMM is on the way!!
